"Lori Sherwin, of Old Sod Travel, put together a terrific visit to Ireland this March for myself, my daughter, and my two grown granddaughters. As I discussed my goals for this trip, Lori listened carefully and created an itinerary for us that suited us perfectly."

Lori and her team are simply one of a kind. Everything was taken care of. Very professional to work with. I’d highly recommend Old Sod Travel. Constant communication and very receptive to late night phone calls. Put your faith in Lori and her team. They won’t disappoint!

We recently went to Portugal and can’t emphasize enough how amazing it was to work with Sarah Laine! She arranged beautiful hotel accommodations in Lisbon and Porto, provided delicious restaurant recommendations, and arranged private car service with two of the nicest drivers we’ve ever used. She also took care of tickets for the train, a private winery tour and several small group activities. Everything was perfect and her attention to detail made this trip very special! I highly recommend Old Sod Travel (and Sancho Panza Travel) and would definitely use them again. Thanks, Sarah, for helping to plan an incredible adventure!

Our Ireland trip planned through Old Sod was fantastic! The hotels were wonderful and all in great areas, with walking distance to restaurants, entertainment and shopping.The driver and vehicle they arranged for us were top notch as well. Our driver had our best interest in mind and gave us some great information along the way.We look forward to traveling again soon and working with Old Sod.

Old Sod Travel did a wonderful job of helping us plan our trip to Ireland. Their team came up with a wonderful selection of hotels, places to see , and recommendations where to eat. They help arrange the Train travel tickets, group tours, private tours, and walking tours on the various cities we visited. They were very prompt and helpful whenever we need to reach out to them. Would definitely recommend and use them again.

Old Sod Travel and our travel expert Julie planned a fantastic two week vacation in London and Ireland for my husband and I! The recommendations, developing of itinerary, execution of booking, and final vacation in motion was seamless! I would highly recommend and will use them again if we travel to that part of the world again!

Many thanks to Julie Cole for creating our memorable trip to the UK. This was an important and much anticipated trip as it had been almost forty years since my wife and I last visited London, and we promised to take our daughter as a college graduation gift. Julie was very patient and spent lots of time exchanging ideas with us that resulted in a comprehensive and rewarding itinerary. During the trip Julie touched base to ensure all was going well. My daughter got to see the best of London and the UK countryside and my wife and I got to relive fond memories of the time we spent there so many years ago. Many thanks Julie and Old Sod; we highly recommend you and we will be in touch to plan our next trip.Everything Julie planned for us was enjoyable and memorable from Windsor Castle, to Bath, Brighton and the Vegan walking tour, Stonehenge, Canterbury, the Cliffs of Dover, ....... We were able to see so much due to the impeccable scheduling. We enjoyed first class, quaint English style accommodations.
